My New Orchid

My Mothers Day Orchid just moved in! Shes a little early, but that’s great! My daughter kills plants by just looking at them, so I got it early, rather than leave it in her care!

Is this normal colour for new growth?

The new leaf is quite burgundy at the heart. Is this normal or is there too much light?
